Here, from ABC Eyewitness News – Los Angeles, is the station’s helicopter view of traffic on the Rte 405 freeway in southern California.
As you look at it, please note that this was taken yesterday. In other words, these are the people trying to get a head start and beat the thanksgiving traffic.

Y’know, suddenly the “see the family” tour we are taking today – northern New Jersey, then on to Westchester, and finally down to Manhattan – doesn’t seem so bad after all…..



I can attest to the fact that the 405 is ALWAYS a mess.
i just return last week from the LA area and I had to be on the 405 every day. it was always wall to wall and moving at 10MPH. it is a horrible road coupled with idiot drivers. Good luck to them
That is the only thing I don’t miss about not being able to work anymore. I used to drive thru that everyday.
